Pivot‑Arm Awnings
A classic, high‑performance awning designed to project outward for superior airflow, heat control, and visibility.
Pivot‑Arm Awnings use robust side arms that push the fabric away from the window at an angle. This creates a cooling airflow between the awning and the glass, dramatically reducing heat while maintaining outward visibility and ventilation. Ideal for second‑storey windows, heritage homes, commercial buildings, and anywhere you want shade without losing airflow.
☀️ Why Choose Pivot‑Arm Awnings
- Projects outward to allow airflow behind the fabric
- Excellent for upper‑storey windows where access is limited
- Reduces heat load on glass while maintaining visibility
- Strong performance in wind‑exposed areas
- Ideal for heritage façades, period homes, and commercial buildings
- Allows windows to remain open while shading the glass
- Available with headbox for fabric protection
Pivot‑Arm is the go‑to when you need ventilation + shade — something straight drops and wire guides can’t provide.
🧵 Fabric Options
All fabrics are engineered for Australian conditions:
- Acrylic — premium fade resistance, ideal for sun‑exposed façades
- Canvas — traditional stripes and solids for heritage homes
- Mesh — airflow and visibility with strong UV reduction
- PVC (limited use) — for weather protection where airflow is less critical
All fabrics are UV‑stabilised, mildew‑resistant, and available in a wide colour palette.
⚙️ Operation & Motorisation
Pivot‑Arm Awnings can be configured to suit your installation:
- Manual crank
- Internal winch control (ideal for upper floors)
- Motorised with remote, wall switch or app
- Smart home integration (Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa)
- Matter‑compatible motors available — no hub required
